![]() ![]() I love Canada and am as patriotic as the next guy, but please stop shoving the maple leaf in my face. There is literally no Toronto or Blue or Jays in the front of the cap. Yes, the Blue Jays are Canada’s sole remaining major league club, but they are not Team Canada the cap is just not appropriate for the team. ![]() ![]() I am not a fan of the maple leaf design primarily because the team that will wear it is called the Toronto Blue Jays not the Canada Red Maple Leaves-at least the blue alternate has the team’s main colour as the base. Major League Baseball was the one who proposed the maple leaf cap design to the Blue Jays in 2013, but the Blue Jays demanded that their branding be included somewhere in the cap, so they compromised by adding their logo to the back, just above the MLB silhouette. The Blue Jays’ new alternate cap is very similar to the current alternate-which was used for batting practice, spring training, and select games during the 2013 regular season-except it has a red base instead of blue. The red alternate is meant to add to the collection of field caps, to be used in conjunction with the blue alternate and the regular cap. Seven other teams (the Braves, White Sox, Pirates, Padres, Rangers, Cubs, and Mets) will be receiving new caps, as detailed on. It is unclear whether the red inside the leaf outline is actually a patch of red fabric, or just the red base. The cap, from their "Diamond Era" line, is all red from the panels to the brim to the button, except for a white outline of a stylized maple leaf in front and the Blue Jays and MLB logos in the back. On Wednesday afternoon New Era, the official cap supplier for Major League Baseball, unveiled a brand new alternate batting practice cap for the Toronto Blue Jays. ![]()
